Product details
Overview
5962-8686901EA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade quad 2-line-to-1-line data selector/multiplexer with true-output logic, operating across −55°C to 125°C, featuring 16-pin CDIP (J) package, 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage, and propagation delays as low as 4 ns (tPHL, A/B → Y) under military temperature extremes.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-8686901EA datasheet, 5962-8686901EA pinout, 5962-8686901EA application, or 5962-8686901EA equivalent, this device serves in high-reliability digital signal routing for avionics, radar processing, and hardened embedded control where full military temperature range, buffered I/O, and deterministic 2:1 multiplexing are required.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing a common select (A/B) and strobe (G) input, with each output driven by an inverter and gate to ensure full logic swing and noise immunity. It uses advanced low-power Schottky (ALS) bipolar technology, delivering TTL-compatible input thresholds and output drive capability.
All outputs are actively driven (not open-collector), supporting fan-out of up to 20 LS-TTL loads. The strobe (G) enables/disables all four outputs simultaneously, providing synchronous gating without added external logic - critical for time-critical bus arbitration and data path isolation in real-time systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | Quad 2-line-to-1-line data selector/multiplexer with true output (non-inverting) |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with legacy 5 V TTL systems and stable operation under rail variation |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to 125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for deployment in aerospace, defense, and downhole electronics |
| Propagation Delay | tPHL(A/B→Y) = 4 ns min (TA = −55°C to 125°C) - enables sub-10 ns cycle timing in high-speed control state machines |
| Output Drive | IOL = 4 mA / IOH = −0.4 mA - sufficient to directly drive multiple LS-TTL inputs without buffering |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - matches standard TTL logic levels for seamless integration into mixed-logic systems |
| Quiescent Current | ICC = 6 mA max (VCC = 5.5 V) - supports low-static-power design in battery-backed or thermally constrained modules |
Pinout & Package
5962-8686901EA is housed in a 16-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP, J package), hermetically sealed for moisture resistance and long-term reliability in harsh environments. Pin numbering follows standard DIP top-view convention with Pin 1 at bottom-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1A | Data input A for first multiplexer channel - routed to 1Y when A/B = L |
| 2 | 1B | Data input B for first multiplexer channel - routed to 1Y when A/B = H |
| 3 | 1Y | True-output of first multiplexer - active-high, fully buffered, drives LS-TTL loads |
| 4 | 2A | Data input A for second multiplexer channel |
| 5 | 2B | Data input B for second multiplexer channel |
| 6 | 2Y | True-output of second multiplexer |
| 7 | GND | Power ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity |

| 10 | 3Y | True-output of third multiplexer |
| 11 | 4A | Data input A for fourth multiplexer channel |
| 12 | 4B | Data input B for fourth multiplexer channel |
| 13 | 4Y | True-output of fourth multiplexer |
| 14 | VCC | +5 V power supply - bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 1 cm of this pin |
| 15 | G | Strobe enable - all outputs forced low when G = H; outputs follow selected data when G = L |
| 16 | A/B | Common select line - determines source (A or B) for all four channels simultaneously |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full military temperature qualification | Tested and screened per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V - guaranteed operation from −55°C to 125°C without derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54ALS157AFK | Same ALS logic family and military temp range, but in 20-pin LCCC (FK) package - smaller footprint, higher thermal resistance | Better suited for space-constrained PCB layouts with thermal management via substrate conduction | Select when board area is limited and thermal interface to metal chassis is available |
| 5962-8862501EA | Inverting-output variant (′ALS158 function); identical pinout, package, and military qualification | Required where downstream logic expects inverted data or where propagation delay symmetry between A/B paths is critical | Choose only if system-level timing analysis confirms benefit of matched tPLH/tPHL across both inputs |
Compared with SNJ54ALS157AFK and 5962-8862501EA, the 5962-8686901EA provides non-inverting output logic in the industry-standard 16-pin CDIP format - simplifying legacy board redesigns and enabling direct drop-in replacement in existing J-lead footprints without layout revision.

FAQ
What is the logic function implemented by the 5962-8686901EA?
The 5962-8686901EA implements a quad 2-line-to-1-line data selector/multiplexer with true (non-inverting) outputs. Each of its four channels selects between two data inputs (A or B) based on the A/B control line, and routes the selected signal to its corresponding output (1Y–4Y) when enabled by the strobe (G) input. This function is identical to the SN54ALS157A specification and confirmed in the SDAS081C datasheet function table.
Does the 5962-8686901EA support 3.3 V operation?
No, the 5962-8686901EA is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation per its recommended operating conditions. It is not 3.3 V tolerant: applying 3.3 V to VCC results in undefined logic thresholds, degraded noise margins, and potential failure to meet propagation delay or drive strength specifications. For 3.3 V systems, consider modern alternatives such as the SN74LVC157A.
Is the 5962-8686901EA pin-compatible with commercial-grade SN74ALS157AN?
Yes - the 5962-8686901EA shares identical pinout, terminal assignments, and logic behavior with the SN74ALS157AN (16-pin PDIP), as confirmed by TI's package option addendum and the SDAS081C logic diagrams. Both use the same J-package pin numbering for CDIP and N-package for PDIP, enabling mechanical and electrical interchangeability in systems where military temperature range is not required.
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by the 5962-8686901EA?
The 5962-8686901EA does not operate as a clocked device but as a combinational multiplexer. Its usable data rate is governed by propagation delay: the worst-case tPHL(A/B→Y) is 14 ns at TA = 125°C, supporting reliable operation with input transitions spaced ≥20 ns apart. This corresponds to a maximum effective switching frequency of approximately 50 MHz in synchronous applications with proper setup/hold timing.
Can the 5962-8686901EA be used without connecting the strobe (G) pin?
No - the strobe (G) pin must be actively driven. Leaving G unconnected risks floating-input behavior, causing unpredictable output states and increased ICC. Per the datasheet, G = L enables normal multiplexing; G = H forces all outputs low. For always-enabled operation, tie G to GND through a 1 kΩ resistor - never leave it open.
